A member asked:

Just recently i've become very sun sensitive. burn extremely easily and my face just stays red. could it be related to gastrointestinal issues?

See below: This could be a side effect of the Accutane or it could be due to an autoimmune disease such lupus or sjogren's. See your doctor who prescribed the Accutane for further evaluation.
